Chapter 766
"These three days have been really comfortable!"
"Your Highness, have you refined the refined salt?" Immediately, Meng Tian rushed over.
Being reminded by Meng Tian, Tang Yu slapped his forehead: "Refined salt? I'll rub it! General Meng, if you don't remind me, I might have forgotten this! Hurry, go and prepare some salt raw materials for me!"
"What? Your Highness, you have made no progress in the past three days!" When Meng Tian heard this, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
Tang Yu smiled cynically: "No need to rush, no need to rush, General Meng, just follow my instructions!"
"Okay, time does not wait for us. I will prepare the salt raw materials for His Highness now!" Meng Tian said solemnly.
Soon after, darkness enveloped the earth, and Meng Tian led a group of people to carry a large amount of raw salt into the East Palace.
Staring at the salt on the ground, Tang Yu grabbed a handful. He could feel the obvious graininess of the salt raw materials in his hands. Many of the salt raw materials were large lumps.
Meng Tian asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, time is running out. Are you sure you can refine the refined salt?"
"Of course there is certainty!"
Remember https://m in one second.
Tang Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "General Meng, I wonder what kind of salt you usually eat?"
"Reporting to your highness, what I usually eat is coarse salt, which is official salt!" Meng Tian replied truthfully.
Tang Yu nodded: "Go get some official salt and refined salt, let me compare them!"
"Your Highness, almost all refined salt exists in the palace, and my subordinates can't get it!" Meng Tian smiled bitterly.
Tang Yu smiled softly: "It doesn't matter. If you can't get it, go to the imperial kitchen and ask for it. Just say this is my will!"
"Your Highness, I'll get it right now!" Meng Tian responded.
In less than half an hour, Meng Tian rushed back with refined salt and coarse salt.
Tang Yu observed carefully, and he was surprised to find that the refined salt in ancient times did not look very pure. It could only be regarded as fine salt, and it was not even comparable to the worst table salt on the modern market.
Normally, table salt is divided into three grades, namely coarse salt, fine salt and refined salt. The refined salt in ancient times can only be compared to modern fine salt.
Tang Yu grabbed a little salt and sipped it slightly. In addition to being salty, Tang Yu also had a slight bitterness.
Tang Yu spit out the salt in his mouth and said in disbelief: "General Meng, are you sure this is the salt used by the royal family? Doesn't it taste too bad?"
"What? Bad? Your Highness, you have to know that this kind of refined salt almost only exists in the palace! Compared with coarse salt, this is simply a delicacy in the world! If you don't believe it, try this!"
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he took out a cloth bag. The cloth bag was opened layer by layer, and yellow-brown crystals appeared in front of Tang Yu's eyes.
Tang Yu looked around and saw that the yellow-brown crystals were much larger than the so-called refined salt. To form a contrast, Tang Yu picked up a little and put it in his mouth.
"vomit!"
After just sipping a little, the unspeakable taste made Tang Yu almost vomit out his dinner.
The coarse salt in front of him was not only salty but also full of various strange smells. Tang Yu subconsciously picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, and his face became much better.
The next moment, Tang Yu was stunned and said: "General Meng, this...is this the coarse salt on the market?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the salt I got is still the best quality. Ordinary people can't afford it!" Meng Tian responded solemnly.
